A $35 million gift commitment from University of Alabama alumnus J. Frank Barefield, Jr. to name UA’s College of Arts and Sciences has helped The Rising Tide 2.0 Capital Campaign reach yet another fundraising milestone: $1.8 billion.
The Barefield College of Arts and Sciences was announced on June 6 and is the second college on campus to be named. The fully discretionary endowment allows college leadership to “act quickly, think boldly and lead purposefully” in the areas of research, retention and student support.
